The ANC wants to end our membership to the “arrogant” International Criminal Court

Another big oll f*** you to the international community from South Africa; we want your support and your money, but we refuse to abide by international law.

The ANC wants us to cancel our membership to the ICC, as they see the institution as a tool for the West – we’re starting to sound a little North Korea-ish over here – to effect regime change in Africa.

“The manner that we were treated around the al-Bashir incident is consistent with the cheeky arrogance that Africa has experienced in its interaction with the ICC,” reads documents intended for the party’s NGC in October of this year.

The ANC wants its own, African alternative to the ICC – uhm, isn’t the African Union led by a mass-murderer himself– who they believe exercises “selective prosecution”, according to News24.

Now don’t misunderstand; the ANC does not condone ‘authoritarian and violent regimes’, they just don’t actually give a rat’s ass.
